December 4, 1992: Kevin in Hell

December 4, 1992: Kevin in Hell


In 1992 I was serving on some sort of Carroll County or State of Maryland board or commission…

At my age I forget which one. I think it was an agriculture or environmental commission… I would have to look it up; I have long since lost track…

But anyway, I remember all too well that it was difficult and I was getting hammered on a regular basis in the meetings and occasionally in the press.

Yet I insisted on maintaining a friendly, Christian and charitable approach to my critics and the folks who were being so unpleasant with me.

You know the drill, folks who wanted others to respect their point of view but were entirely intolerant of the point of view of others. Folks who felt the need to promote their agenda by being very unpleasant.

Yet, I was not budging one bit. I kept smiling and stayed friendly and positive. It drove my critics absolutely nuts.

Finally, as time went-on, one-by-one I was winning some folks over. And then in December 1992, I got this in Christmas card by one of the most unpleasant critics. I prize it to this day.
